  2. What is the Community Health Engagement Program? It is a component of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), funded from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Indiana University in collaboration with Purdue and Notre Dame, hascreated CHEP to help assist researchers in translating research findings to the Indiana community by engaging the communityto participate in research opportunities.

  3. Our Mission Promote collaboration among community partners throughout Indiana to improve research, health and healthcare. CHEP has a consortium of over 200 community partnersthat comprise our Community Advisory Council (CAC).

  4. CAC Partners: Clarian Health BioCrossroads Cook Group Roche Wellpoint Indiana Economic Development Corp Indiana Department of Health Marion County Health Department YMCA of Greater Indianapolis Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities Indiana Commission for Women Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis March of Dimes And many more........

  6. How can CHEP help you? COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES CHEP organizes forums to strengthen collaborations between community and academia. EDUCATION AND TRAINING CHEP hosts a series of workshops, discussions and presentations. CHEP also creates a mechanism for disseminating results of community research studies to help educate community and inform policy. ACCESS TO PARTNERS CHEP provides community members access to a network of over 200 community partners and researchers, including underserved populations who are interested in project collaboration. SERVICE CORE CHEP provides an easily accessible structure for recruiting and conducting clinical studies in primary care practices through the Practice Based Research Networks (PBRNs).

  7. Opportunities and advantages: Working with community stakeholders on your research agenda • Improved recruitment and retention. • Input on community conditions to inform intervention design and execution. • Help with interpretation of results, identifying needed interventions and evaluating outcomes of an intervention. • Accessibility to community resources that support intervention work, e.g.: Bus passes, Community resource audits, and Community health promotion plans • Improved community education/health literacy – Health information well received/better understood. • Improved translation of scientific findings to the community • Include underserved populations (who are not adequately represented in research

  8. Researchers have a responsibility towards Indiana community especially marginalized groups CBPR helps to eliminate health disparities and environmental injustice. “Who represents the community at a priority-setting workshop or a county meeting? Who speaks and who is mute?”

  9. The impact of community- based health research on public health Community-based health research (CBHR) is essential for addressing the new public health problems posed by chronic diseases. CBHR "guides public health workers who are engaged in improving the health of populationsjust as traditional clinical research guides the actions of clinicians in caring for individual patients." Daniel S. Blumenthal and Ralph J. DiClemente
